Occasionally my crochet and autism pages collide, they’re bound to as crochet helps my wellbeing so much, both from a parenting and a post foot operation complications viewpoint. One particular pattern has been my go-to for cardigans made in chunky, super chunky, double knit yarns and now in a Scheepjes Whirl. If you haven’t heard […]
It will of no surprise to anyone who knows me, whether online or in “real life”, that, when I have a moment, I pick up a hook! Not a hook as in “aaaargh! Where’s Peter Pan?” but a crochet hook. It amazes me that I can do this for two reasons: One, because I’m left-handed. […]
I didn’t share a positive yesterday, in truth I couldn’t think of one, it was a “bit” of a stressful day. I’m not going into details apart from hormonal teens + autism + sensory issues + illness hanging around + waiting for a further (and I hope final) operation date all added up to one […]
My stress-filled days haven’t decreased, in fact today has seemed more “aaaaargh” than yesterday, it’s made me really quite grateful that the weekend has arrived – even though T and D have only been back at school for two days – and that we’ve found humour in unexpected places.

Can you believe we’re a week into 2017 already? If it’s anything like last year, this year is going to fly by. I babble a bit about a hobby of mine on here and take quite a few instagram pictures of progress – http://instagram.com/autismmumma – because I find it so beneficial to my wellbeing, which can only […]
Happy New Year! Once again, I’ve been absent from the blog, for various reasons. I’ve decided to take part in a picture a day challenge for this year and probably write about it each night on here, this will enable me to focus on the positives, which I do much prefer doing. So, the picture […]
Weirdly, both T and D have had nose issues today, T’s came in the form of a nosebleed and D’s as a tender “nose hole” as she calls a nostril. It’s made for a day of cuddles and reassurance for D and reassurance for T (who doesn’t like cuddles and didn’t like the way his […]
